| Sumario: | The main objective of this study was to investigate the influence of values, motivation, and rewards on the performance of administrative technicians in a private higher education institution using a hypothetical structural model. The research, descriptive in nature with a quantitative approach, involved the administration of a survey questionnaire. The sample consisted of 418 respondents from the administrative staff. Data analysis was conducted using statistical analyses, based on Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), to examine the relationships between the constructs. The research findings confirmed the influence of values on motivation and motivation on performance, except for the influence of rewards on performance. The study conclusions suggest that the identified values explain the motivational behavior of technicians in their work, promoting a healthy, fair, and consistent environment, particularly in meeting group needs, which enhances daily performance and the smooth functioning of the institution. Rewards, on the other hand, represent only one aspect of the employment relationship, with other factors present in the institution influencing the performance of technicians. |
